The existing Platinum sprite shows its standard Platinum form; gender, cloak or alternate forms can have different appearances.
| Stat | Base value |
|---|---|
| HP | 55 |
| Attack | 55 |
| Defense | 50 |
| Sp. Atk | 45 |
| Sp. Def | 65 |

Where to obtain it in Platinum
Bebe gives a level-20 Eevee in Hearthome City before the National Pokédex in Platinum. Later Trophy Garden encounters are a separate postgame method. Breed obtained Eevee to supply its different evolution branches.
These records are filtered to Platinum. Time, Poké Radar, swarm, GBA insertion, daily and story conditions remain separate. Postgame areas require their story access; no listed area is promised to be open on a fresh save.
Encounter methods · Legendaries, gifts and historical requirements · Sinnoh map and routes
| Location / area | Method | Level | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trophy Garden | Grass / cave walking | 22 | National Pokédex unlocked; Trophy Garden daily extra species announced by Mr. Backlot |
| Hearthome City | Gift / fossil revival | 20 | Bebe’s Hearthome gift; no National Dex needed in Platinum |
Evolution family and Generation IV requirements
| From | Into | Platinum method |
|---|---|---|
| Eevee | Vaporeon | Use Water Stone |
| Eevee | Jolteon | Use Thunder Stone |
| Eevee | Flareon | Use Fire Stone |
| Eevee | Espeon | Level up with friendship of at least 220 (Generation IV) during daytime |
| Eevee | Umbreon | Level up with friendship of at least 220 (Generation IV) at night |
| Eevee | Leafeon | Level up near the Moss Rock in Eterna Forest |
| Eevee | Glaceon | Level up near the Ice Rock on Route 217 |
Friendship evolution uses the original threshold of 220. Held-item trades need a compatible second game and system. Platinum uses special rocks, Mt. Coronet magnetic evolutions, learned-move requirements and Beauty rather than later replacement methods.
Original abilities, breeding and training
| Ability | Original slot |
|---|---|
| Run Away | Regular ability slot 1 |
| Adaptability | Regular ability slot 2 |
Hidden Abilities did not exist in Generation IV. The table restores original ability slots where a species changed in later games; an ability’s modern behavior must not be assumed to match Platinum.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Gender ratio | 12.5% female / 87.5% male |
| Egg group(s) | Field |
| Base hatch cycles | 35 |
| Experience growth | Medium Fast |
| Base capture rate | 45 / 255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Special Defense +1 |
The Solaceon Town Day Care supports breeding before the League. Undiscovered species cannot produce Eggs. Some baby forms require the matching incense on a parent, while trade evolutions still need the trade rather than only a Day Care level.
Platinum level-up moves
| Level | Move |
|---|---|
| 1 / starting move | Helping Hand |
| 1 / starting move | Tackle |
| 1 / starting move | Tail Whip |
| 8 | Sand Attack |
| 15 | Growl |
| 22 | Quick Attack |
| 29 | Bite |
| 36 | Baton Pass |
| 43 | Take Down |

| 57 | Trump Card |
Every row uses the Platinum version group. Level 1 moves include starting and reminder moves; a later caught specimen need not already know every entry. Evolution timing affects which stage learns a move. Pastoria’s Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

Platinum TMs are single-use: teaching one consumes that copy. HMs are reusable and require the Move Deleter to be forgotten. Defog is HM05 and Rock Climb is HM08; these are the Generation IV field moves, with their own badge requirements.
Egg moves and Platinum Move Tutors
Recorded Platinum Egg moves: Charm, Covet, Curse, Endure, Fake Tears, Flail, Tickle, Wish, Yawn.
Recorded Platinum tutor compatibility: Helping Hand, Last Resort, Mud Slap, Snore, Swift.
Tutor compatibility does not mean every listed technique comes from the same shard tutor. Starter ultimate moves, Draco Meteor and other special services have their own requirements.
